Operational Structure

Happy Harbour Early Childhood Program is a non-profit organization operated by the Happy Harbour Executive Board of Directors. The Executive Board of Directors has final authority over all aspects of the program, unless a decision directly affects Bay Harbour United Methodist Church (BHUMC). Happy Harbour is a ministry of BHUMC, and as such, spiritual growth is a key component of the goals for all children and staff. Christian beliefs will be expressed to the children, as well as the importance of faith and trust in God. Chapel will be held weekly, and education in the classrooms will include prayer recital before meals, bible verses, and Christian songs.

Happy Harbour is licensed by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS), and follows the Minimum Standard Rules developed by DFPS. Happy Harbour ensures the program is operated according to these high standards with the use of annual inspections, continually updated record-keeping, and monitored safety practices.
